    k Griffin, that is

    artis
    t
    quite like him !  Well, and if you toured in '82, the '80's or maybe ? even the '90's, then you will be well aware that this fanta
    stic " Uncle Sam Smokin' Skeleton Winged-Skull ! " desi
    gn was definitely " The "
    Official GDP Tour Shirt to have
    , from this A
    mazing ! year for the Grateful Dead.  I myself
    alw
    ays think of t
    wo main things when it comes to '82
    Live Dead -- firstly, Garcia's tone & fret board attack !  As this was a totally transitional period, that really started in '81 where Jerry got
    both quicker ! & heavier !!  I showed one of m
    y Rock & Roll Buddies the
    3/28/81 Video ! not too long ago
    ( with
    The Who ! ), and my Buddy's comment was a True-Classic ! on that fine day ... and I'll never-ever forget it ... " Wow Man, Jerry's almost playing-Metal ?!? "  You-Betcha ! he was
    !!!  Totally-true in so many ways, as during
    certain
    ja
    m-p
    oints &
    ascensions
    - this was a "
    collective
    " beefed-up Grateful Dead live - with some serious-attack ! & pure-muscle !!  And Secondly ...
    these were the early-days of the true emergence of
    the
    '80's-esque Bobby Weir that many Dead Fans love & li
    ve
    for
    !  Much vocal improv
    , that some Fans cherished, and other Fans, well ... you know - Hah !
    I mean let's just p
    ut it
    this
    -way, as I mean how-else - would you even put it ?!  It's 1982 - like what
    ? over 35-
    years ago ? ...
    the time is Right ! for the
    Grateful Dead '82 Fall Tour --- and not only are you cat
    ch
    ing it in Florida ! ... but you're even doing it at West Palm Beach !!!  Dang ... I mean where is that " Time-Machine " !?!?!  And too ... being that This-Show ! on 9/11/82 was also even on Mickey Hart's 39th Birthday ?! ... I mean there was High-Energy ! E
    verywhere !!  Minglewood had it ... Uncle > Big River ! had
    it ... C.C. Rider had it ...
    Dupree's - Loser & Let It Grow !
    had-it - and w
    e're not even into " Set II " in this con
    versation
    !?!  Because This ! my friends was a Pure
    ! G.D.
    Rock & Roll Grind-out !!!  Jerry
    's chops were just So !!! Incredibly !! Hot !
    in '82, and this set is such a fine example ... so yeah, here it is ... & you tell me ?? >>> Scarlet > Fire - Sailor > Saint - Terrapin ! - Drums/Space > Truckin' ! > Stella Blue > Around > and yep, you bet ... One More Saturday Night !!!  Because yeah, as I forget to add earlier - with all of the other laundry-list of " Pluses " about This-Show ! ... it also was on a Saturday Night !  I mean talk-about Feelin' ... Alright !!  Hah !!!  Baby Blue for the Encore, and this one was indeed in the books ... as a Huge ! '82 Fall Tour G.D. Show !  And too ... the " Backstage Pass " for this Show was even on one of the way-rare " Yellow " Bordered ! Passes.  I mean check out the photos, and yes - I know ... it's pretty much hard ' not ' to fall immediately in-Love ! with this Pass.  What a Design ! ... & all the Credit in the World ! ... to " Griff " !!!  A Completely-Classic ! -
    Bold & Bright ! G.D. Pass indeed ... and naturally too, in Timeless ! Ric
